MOT failure 2005 Skoda Fabia Vrs for sale

 

100200k miles

 

MOT runs out on 31 August

 

Failed an MOT on 16 August on the following items:

 

  • Fogged headlamp

  • Suspension arm rubber bush

  • Tyre tread on one tyre

  • Front brake excesivelly fluctuatiing on front nearside

  • Rear brake binding nearside

  • Rear parking break on nearside

  • Front constant velocity joint gaiter

  • Parking break


Advisories:

 

  • The 3 other tyres have advisories
  • Suspension arms corroded on both sides on front but not seriously weakened

 

Also needs a new alternator or some of the wires have broken. This was going to be investigated after the MOT. It has not been driven more than 200 miles in the last 8 months.

 

It occasionally would lose its turbo power and drive sluggishly but fast enough to go on the motorway. Turning it off and on would reset it and it would drive fine. It once did a thing whereby when it hit 2k revs it would fall the way down to 1k and then keep going.

 

Has a significant dent in the front nearside wing but not an MOT issue and only cosmetic.

 

Drives along nicely at the moment.

 

Here is a thread about some errors I was getting:

 

 

I spent £500 getting it through its MOT in August 2016 and then had a second hand box put in at a cost of £350 plus labour.

 

Any questions - let me know - I'm very near spaghetti junction and the car does drive.
